USMLE Step 1 Deadline

[Yael]

Hi,
I'm an IMG.
I'm scheduled to take my USMLE Step 1 test on August 22 (already completed the other two) and was wondering whether I can expect to receive my grade and final ECFMG certification by September 15?
If not, how much does it matter that my grade will be added a few days later?
Thank you!

Well according to USMLE it can take 3-4 weeks to get your score. And I have no idea how long it takes ECFMG to verify. So even without that you might not even have your score back by the 15th.

You can't change it now, so don't worry about it. Will it hurt a little? Yes. If it's a week behind not that big of a deal. Longer than that, as an IMG, it will hurt your chances. Typically, we're more generous with interview invites at the beginning than towards the end with a lot less slots.
